Belachelijk. Senna reed de laatste races beter dan Chandhok. zal wel sponsorgezeik zijn.. Zeker gezien Kolles daar aan het roer staat..

It seems that the decision was taken because the team wants money.

It appears that the team may have acquired some of the assets of the Toyota team in Cologne. Serbian F1 aspirants Stefan GP had announced their intention to buy the Toyota chassis before the season, while more recently ART GP looked at buying the cars for a potential entry next season as the 13th team.

McLaren ditches blown diffuser for now

By Jonathan Noble Friday, July 9th 2010, 21:19 GMT

Jenson Button, McLaren, Silverstone 2010McLaren has abandoned its exhaust-blown diffuser for the rest of the British Grand Prix weekend, AUTOSPORT can reveal, after a difficult first day of running with the concept at Silverstone on Friday.

The Woking-based team had high hopes that the update package it brought on to the car for this weekend's race would help lift its performance to take the fight to pre-event favourites Red Bull Racing.

However, both Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button failed to get comfortable with the new handling and set-up of the revised MP4-25 at Silverstone - with Hamilton running off-track several times as he took the car to the limit.

Button admitted that the car had not felt good with the new parts - and that the team needed to invest much more effort in making them work.

"Today's been a little bit trickier than expected in the car," said the reigning world champion.

"First of all I couldn't get a set-up for the car with the new package, but it improved at the end of the day, but there's still a lot of work we need to do. We are not where we'd like to be. The car is very tricky in a few places around the circuit.

"We've definitely made some improvements in certain places, but we don't have the right balance yet. I haven't had a perfect day today, which is disappointing because even on a Friday it's good to see so many people out there."

With Hamilton ending the day more than 1.5 seconds adrift of the best time from Red Bull Racing, McLaren felt that its chances of a decent result in the British GP would be best served with using the package it knows best.

Late on Friday night, McLaren mechanics were seen wheeling the updated floors out of the Silverstone paddock as work began on revising the cars back to the configuration that has been used up until this race - with the standard exhaust set-up.

Sources have revealed that McLaren understands where improvements can be made with the package, and revisions will be developed to ensure the exhaust-blown diffuser is back on the car for the German Grand Prix.

McLaren had come into the weekend viewing the British GP as a critical weekend in its title challenge - with the performance of the blown diffuser likely to give it a benchmark on its ability to take the fight to Red Bull Racing.

Although removing the blown diffuser is a setback for McLaren's hopes at Silverstone, the performance of the car in recent races means the outfit still has the chance of taking a decent haul of points with the older exhaust concept.

The exhaust-blown diffusers are far from straightforward to integrate into the cars, and Mercedes GP found it had to compromise its version of the design in Valencia a fortnight ago when it encountered overheating problems caused by the exhaust gases.

Lotus Racing boss Tony Fernandes is in the process of acquiring the rights for the traditional Team Lotus name – opening up the possibility for a formal renaming of the outfit for next season.

Team Lotus was bought by former F3000 driver David Hunt at the end of 1994, but plans to move it on quickly as a going concern failed to come to fruition and the operation folded. The name was briefly allied to Pacific GP in 1995, and Hunt and two partners have held on to it ever since.

When Fernandes started his F1 project this time last year he had to use the Lotus Racing name, but he has been in contact with Hunt recently, and a deal is finally in the pipeline.

The return of the Team Lotus name will in effect mean that there are no loose ends and provide a formal link not just with the past but also with Classic Team Lotus, the historic car operation run by Colin Chapman’s son Clive.

Hoe zit het trouwens met tijdswinst door (te) wijd uit de bocht komen? Ik zag dit Schumacher een paar keer doen, en Alonso ook. Misschien/waarschijnlijk waren dit gewoon foutjes, maar ik kan me voorstellen dat je er tijdswinst kan uithalen (hogere snelheid?). Is dit gewoon strafbaar?

Je bedoelt dat ze bij het uitkoment van de bocht naaste de baan gaan? Zo ja, als er meer dan 2 wielen buiten de witte lijn zitten in het strafbaar. Maar de FIA deelt er (bijna) nooit straffen voor uit. En het kan tijdswinst opleveren, maar je banden worden er wel vuil van.
